Before you travel to Vietnam<\/a><\/h2>\n

1. Do Brits need a visa to travel to Vietnam?<\/strong><\/p>\n

For a Vietnam holiday up to 45 days, you do not need to apply for a visa.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you’d like to stay longer, you will need to get a visa or Visa on Arrival Letter (VOA) in advance of travelling. You can purchase a visa from the Vietnam Embassy, or, alternatively, a VOA can be obtained through ETG, as long as you are entering and exiting Vietnam via an international airport. <\/span>Another option is applying for an e-visa online through this <\/span>online portal<\/span><\/a>. E-visas are issued for stays of up to 90 days.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, it\u2019s important to note that your passport must be valid for at least 6 months after the date of your arrival in Vietnam.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Is it safe to travel to Vietnam from the UK?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Regarding general safety, Vietnam is a fairly advanced country that is developing fast. Guests travelling with ETG are often surprised at just how built up the country can be; its many vibrant and exciting cities are home to good hospitals and impressive general infrastructure. Be prepared to have your expectations blown out of the water when you visit Vietnam!<\/p>\n
